Affordable Homeownership Units

The City offers affordable homeownership units which are available to first-time homebuyers with incomes up to 100% of Area Median Income who would like to purchase a home in the city.

Inclusionary Housing Study

The study examined the City’s inclusionary housing program and recommended changes to inclusionary housing provisions in the city’s Zoning Ordinance. These recommendations were discussed by the City, the Housing Committee, and the community. A zoning petition incorporating the recommendations from the Housing Committee has been submitted to the City Council. For more information please click here.
